Today’s post is about our 2028 scissor arm magnifying mirror a curious but ever so popular model. The design of this scissor arm magnifying mirror has been around for many years and reminds us of something you would find in a grand old hotel in the 1920’s. The standout design feature of this mirror is the scissor arm action that allows it to extend out from the wall.
This wall mounted model will extend out from the wall further than any other model on the market and with a reach of 60cm. The wall mount bracket has sufficient strength also to allow the mirror to move or swing from left to right 180 degrees. To add to the versatility the mirror itself is double sided and by simply turning the mirror itself you can have either 4x magnification to get close up on what you’re doing or 1x to just check everything is in order before you leave.
In terms of a space requirement the scissor arm magnifying mirror will fold back flat against the wall with the overall dimensions being 41cm high and 235cm. These are the highest and widest points.
To mount this scissor arm magnifying mirror on the wall is very easy with just two screws that are provided.
These can be screwed directly into the timber stud behind the plaster or screw straight into the plugs on a tiled surface.
Currently the 2028c is available in both Chrome and Gold finish both are durable easy to clean surfaces with the mirror made from steel and the surfaces are a plated finish.
Words of warning when selling the mirror to your customers, to remind them do not mount the mirror inside the shower cubicle. The mirror is made from glass and a real chance of shattering should hot water hit the surface or they slip and grab for the mirror on instinct. Not only that the metal scissor are will rust. Chrome, Gold, or Brass plating will not prevent steel from rusting.
In terms of maintenance there is no real things you need to do with regards to the scissor arm action as each joint operated on a fitted rivet and the remaining surfaces that move have a nylon glide. The only thing can do is keep you mirror nice and clean which can be done with a soft rag.
The 2028 Scissor Arm magnifying mirror is a quality buy and should last a lifetime.
